Published: October 2022

The study of immune genes and immune cells is highly focused in recent years. To find immunological genes with prognostic value, the current study examines childhood acute myeloid leukemia according to gender. The TARGET database was used to gather the "mRNA expression profile data" and relevant clinical data of children with AML. To normalize processing and find differentially expressed genes (DEG) between male and female subgroups, the limma software package is utilized. We identified prognostic-related genes and built models using LASSO, multivariate Cox, and univariate Cox analysis. The prognostic significance of prognostic genes was then examined through the processing of survival analysis and risk score (RS) calculation. We investigated the connections between immune cells and prognostic genes as well as the connections between prognostic genes and medications. Finally, five immune genes from the TARGET database have been identified. These immune genes are considerably correlated to the prognosis of male patients.

Background: Tumor microenvironment (TME), particularly immune cell infiltration, programmed cell death (PCD) and stress, has increasingly become a focal point in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment. Uncovering the intricate crosstalk between these factors can enhance our understanding of CRC, guide therapeutic strategies, and improve patient prognosis.

Methods: We constructed an immune-related cell death and stress (ICDS) prognostic model utilizing machine learning methodologies.

Background: Neuroblastoma, a prevalent extracranial solid tumor in pediatric patients, demonstrates significant clinical heterogeneity, ranging from spontaneous regression to aggressive metastatic disease. Despite advances in treatment, high-risk neuroblastoma remains associated with poor survival. SLC1A5, a key glutamine transporter, plays a dual role in promoting tumor growth and immune modulation.
